Product Description

SDTF is an automated SNA product testing tool designed to increase product quality while decreasing development costs and delivery schedules. SDTF is a completely non-intrusive system, and does not require the introduction of additional internal hardware or software to the Implementation Under Test (IUT). Instead, SDTF simply connects to the SDLC, X.25, or LAN interfaces of the IUT. Once connected, the SDTF system allows a user or quality assurance engineer to execute our extensive library of tests or develop additional tests. The SDTF system tests 3270, 5250, RJE, and LU6.2 products using our Industry Standard Library of SNA tests.
